Months ago someone on twitter told me that 88 is going to release or announce FongSaiYuk towards end of 2024. 

So...🤔🤔🤔

He's a glorified postman. The elves and Reindeer are the real MVPs.

Why use the 'legend' wording when it is the Hong Kong version?

Yeah should've just called it Fong Sai Yuk. Interesting that Frankie Balboa has signed up to do the audio commentaries along with Stiggy.  No offense to him but he never came across as the most articulate guy but he is enthusiastic I'll give him that but I'm afraid he'll be out of his element next to Chris Poggiali. Hopefully that's not the case though.

As I expected... But the sequel too? That's double the fun!

Frankie already did a Fong Sai Yuk commentary on the Ronin Flix release from last year, so he's pretty familiar with the material. I'm not that familiar with Chris Poggiali, though I hear good things.

I've heard Chris Poggiali's audio commentary in a few Sonny Chiba films from the Shout collection.

How was his commentary for the Ronin Flix release?

I don't understand? Just order the standard blu ray version of this set if you don't want the 4K UHD version.

I think Frankie himself has said it wasn't the bext commentary.

So this was cut for animal cruelty (horse falls) for its original UK release but has it survived the BBFC this time?

I don't get the appeal at all.

I am very disappointed that Frank Djeng is not involved in doing the commentary.  First TAI CHI MASTER, now this. I am so glad Frank did the commentary for both FIST OF LEGEND (Superb) and BODYGUARD FROM BEIJING (excellent, especially all the parts about Hong Kongers' anxiety of the China handover) but why couldn't 88 Films let him do these three as well?  For period films like TCM and FSY 1 and 2 having Frank explain the various cultural elements and especially Josephine Siao's wordplay humor would've been most welcome.

Peter Glagowski says both films are totally uncut.

I didn't see any, hence my disappointment.

Talking about that, in the 4K vboxset of Project A, it's mentioned that there are two blurays. Are they blurays of the movie? If not, it's so disappointing that the bluray boxset doesn't have the booklet and cards... It's a kind of punishment for people who don't have the luck to have a 4K player...
